Apr 12 09:05:13 <cos-> https://coshacks.blogspot.fi/2018/04/gemini-pda-hackers-guide.html
Apr 12 09:05:23 <cos-> let me know if you spot any errors
Apr 12 09:06:38 <VartiWork> cos-: that's really great, thanks for posting it
Apr 12 09:07:39 <VartiWork> can I post it on the forum, or were you already planning to do it?
Apr 12 09:10:03 <cos-> you can post, i don't have account there
Apr 12 09:12:25 <VartiWork> ok
Apr 12 09:17:10 <canny[m]> cos-: i take it you were/are a bit of a flight-sim fan?  (reading other posts on coshacks)
Apr 12 09:17:23 <cos-> yep
Apr 12 10:30:02 <VartiWork> cos-: just a question about resize2fs you're using in your script. Why is it required? I see you are running it without the size parameter, I'm wondering what's its default size
Apr 12 10:32:05 <VartiWork> also, I read that resize2fs usually requires e2fsck to be run before, but I wonder if that might be true only in certain configurations (e.g. only if the block device is unmounted)
Apr 12 10:59:11 <cos-> VartiWork: by default the linux filesystem is something like 8 gigs, but the partition is 32 gigs. it automatically expands the filesystem to fill the partition
Apr 12 11:00:30 <VartiWork> ok, thanks for the explanation
Apr 12 11:19:54 <akik> cos-: do you mean the flashing leaves unused are on the storage?
Apr 12 11:19:56 <akik> area
Apr 12 11:21:13 <cos-> yes
Apr 12 11:21:50 <cos-> the partition is 32 gigs, but the filesystem is initially 8 gigs (or something like that, didn't check..)
Apr 12 11:34:04 <akik> when i've enlarged file systems on linux, i've first enlarged the partition with fdisk
Apr 12 11:34:20 <akik> when it's enlarged, it's just a matter of running resize2fs on it
Apr 12 13:34:57 <cos-> oh, nice.. now android refuses to boot for some reason. i don't think i've done any dangerous operations recently.
Apr 12 14:35:58 <cos-> yep, looks like i'll have to reflash the whole device. it would be nice to know what went wrong.. maybe resize2fs did something wrong and overwrote android?
Apr 12 14:38:19 <Kero> resizefs is pretty safe. and it can only make mistakes 'at the end' or the extX partition itself will be broken.
Apr 12 14:45:17 <cos-> and i started android a couple of times after resizing
Apr 12 14:45:43 <cos-> maybe i'll ask planet to check my blog post for any serious errors
Apr 12 14:47:38 <Kero> hm, thinking more, when changing an FS on a partition, resize2fs cannot write outside the partition at all.
Apr 12 14:51:08 <Kero> I doubt your blogpost has errors of the kind that destroy android; although I can make had nor tail from the sailfish section
Apr 12 15:30:39 <cos-> sailfish is actually a chroot inside debian partition, so i doubt that..
Apr 12 16:36:59 <serp__> has anyone tried the new keyboard pad? big difference?
Apr 12 17:19:59 <steve-marinos> hello humans
Apr 12 17:20:21 <steve-marinos> and bots :D
Apr 12 17:20:51 <steve-marinos> and huts
Apr 12 17:20:57 <steve-marinos> :P
Apr 12 17:21:04 <steve-marinos> are you all still quiet
Apr 12 17:21:23 <steve-marinos> except cos-
Apr 12 17:21:32 <steve-marinos> he's been busy I see
Apr 12 17:21:42 <steve-marinos> ;) :P
Apr 12 17:54:00 <Captain_Harlock[> I wonder if it would be possible to get an eGPU working with the Gemini. I realize there would be limitation due to USB speeds.
Apr 12 18:24:31 <steve-marinos> well I decided to get the Nokia 7 plus in the replacement of my IP6s
Apr 12 18:25:08 <steve-marinos> I don't think the gemini will be a good substitute or a daily driver, at least not before a while
Apr 12 18:25:39 <steve-marinos> and my IP6s is starting to lose his battery efficiency and am gonna need a replacement soon
